The Big Call is an intelligent discussion programme where Ed Bowsher and guests discuss asset allocation and how you can implement the big calls using Exchange Traded Funds or ETFs. The programme is made in partnership with ETFstream.

The Bigger Picture is Simon Rose at his presenting best. He regularly enjoys digging behind the headlines to find the really interesting stories that are being talked about by economists and think-tanks which are helping to shape the conversations in Whitehall. From the Adam Smith Institute to the Taxpayers Alliance, to the wonderful Professors Steve Keen and Tim Evans, Simon brings the latest political and economic thinking into sharp focus.

In our 'Book Review' slot, we invite top authors into the Share Radio studios. No topic escapes our attention, from share trading to French history and everything else in between. We are always looking for interesting authors, so do get in touch.

James Cameron-Wilson our regular money man talks us through the films doing the business at the box office, and Simon Rose interviews screenwriters, producers and directors.

Our half-hour business documentary series where we go behind the scenes of interesting companies both large and small, looking for the human stories behind the financial numbers and analysing the who, why, where, what and when of business at the sharp end.

Stocks may rise and fall, businesses may boom and bust, but gadgets keep appearing at an ever-increasing rate. Share Radio’s Gadgets & Gizmos show explores the latest technological innovations, from the indispensable to the downright ridiculous. Show host Simon Rose and technology editor Steve Caplin take a weekly humorous look at what’s on offer, featuring both existing products and those whose inventors utilise crowdfunding platforms to make them a reality. Through its 100-plus shows, Gadgets & Gizmos has delved into the world of wifi, Bluetooth and exploding lithium batteries, reviewing gadgets of interest and ridiculing those that should never have got off the drawing board. Where some financial journalists tell you how to make your money grow, Gadgets & Gizmos tells you how to spend it – and when not to.

Too little of this music is played on air, so we think it's appropriate to redress the balance with this people's music. Enjoy!
